OSSEO, Wis. –Global Finishing Solutions has announced the development of a new business unit that will better align departments to support the growing needs of the company’s customers for aftermarket service and support of their equipment.

GFS field services, parts and filters sales, preventative maintenance and service, and technical services departments, are now consolidated under the newly formed aftermarket business unit, which provides service, support, replacement parts and preventative maintenance plans to GFS customers, distributors and national accounts.

Global Finishing Solutions makes paint booths and finishing systems for many industries, including woodworking and large equipment, automotive refinish and industrial manufacturing.

Nelson comes to GFS with more than 20 years of leadership experience in aftermarket and service positions for capital equipment manufacturers.

“I am excited to have the opportunity to contribute to the growth and success of GFS, and to work with our internal teams to develop product and service solutions that deliver the best possible customer experience,” said Nelson. See https://www.globalfinishing.com/.
